In the past when Jericho started wearing out his welcome with people he'd usually come up with something to win them back over, but I dunno, it feels different this time. I think he just may not have it anymore creatively. At the very least he needs to learn from Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and just step away for the rest of spring and summer because even the posters in here who like him want him to go away. That says it all.

Wait a second. Did I call this entire damn thing? Oh no. What have I done. It's like me saying The Final Testament would come to NXT before they showed up.

I hope if he's going for it with a new heel character: -He does some real weird goofy funny shit with it, like this delusional teacher who thinks he's a good guy could mesh with some of that early 2012 smiling doofus weirdo that he dropped for boring in storyline reasons. If not weird and goofy funny, make this the sequel to SRS Jericho that doesn't just turn into "Boring guy talks boringly" like it became in WWE after the HBK feud.
-He changes his aesthetic. He's been spiky jacket guy his entire AEW career, just get a new jacket style already!
-Also keep the Lionheart theme because it's a real good groan inducer now.

I'm not sure there has ever been a situation where a single wrestler drags down a company in every segment on every show when mostly everything else is firing off quite well in the same way Jericho is pulling right now. He's managed it by having the worst match by far in three straight PPVs, and what he did with the Hook match tonight was a literal worse version of what Joe did two months ago. Hook looked like a million bucks after losing to Joe in a really good/hot match, and he looks like complete shit coming out of that match against Jericho.
He also I think has made more combined Dynamite/Collision appearances than any single other talent this year besides MAYBE Toni (who is way more over). And if it were literally any other talent that has gotten the reactions he has gotten for four months straight, they'd be given time off or just set aside. Instead, Jericho gets a title (as meaningless as the FTW title is, Hook was still super protected going into this for several years and this is the second match ever he's lost relatively clean). The leeway he gets is unreal.

You never want to be compared to a guy who blew all of his money on a strip mall like an idiot. No disrespect to Paul Wight, but Big Show is seriously one of my least favorite wrestling characters ever. I'm raging thinking about this big dumbass moody crybaby now.

Hook looked like a million bucks after losing to Joe in a really good/hot match, and he looks like complete shit coming out of that match against Jericho. Why? Like I get you despise Jericho but it comes off as bias to say this killed HOOK and made him look like complete shit. He needed two Judas Effects and a bat to the skull to stay down, and he was completely defiant, kicking out of said Judas Effects. Crowd was entirely into it and hated Jericho for winning Sorry to say but this match did what it needed to do, there's an actual spark to this storyline if Jericho can take advantage of it, and delusional teacher Jericho in crazy hardcore matches would be a different direction at the very least, especially given now everyone wants to see HOOK wreck him even more. I hope he takes advantage of it because the crowds tonight definitely told him the direction he needs to keep leaning.

I’m a big fan of Jericho but he desperately needs to change something.
In ring he just looks off lately. My favorite all time wrestler is Raven and if you watch Ravens career he changed up his in ring work as he got older. It was the same style but he also recognized he needed to adjust. Raven was always heavily based on psychology but he upped it even more during his TNA and late stage Indy runs.
With Jericho it feels as if he’s still trying to wrestle like he did in his prime. I think he would do much better adjusting and adapting his in ring work.

Now, who's going to be Jericho's Braun Strowman that he has a surprising banger with?

I hope he takes advantage of it because the crowds tonight definitely told him the direction he needs to keep leaning. They weren't that into it, though. Just look at the reaction to Hook kicking out of the muscle buster at 1 then suplexing Joe in their match 3 months ago (I said 2, got it wrong there) and compare it to these kick-outs. It's just waning, and also they hated Jericho not because of this feud with Hook but because they're sick and tired of him being on TV every single week. You can't metastasize go away heat into a wrestling character when you are as unbelievably stale as Jericho is. Also you can list the shit he kicked out of and it won't make a difference. It's just the same shit that happened a little over a year ago with Ricky Starks. Ricky had a super hot mini feud with then champ MJF and lost, but was hot coming out of it. Then he beat Jericho twice and you can list the shit he did there, but was he even close to as over as he was when he fought MJF? Nope, not even in the same vicinity. He didn't recover at all until Punk made it his personal business to get him back higher. Oh yeah one more final thing...does anyone at all want to watch Hook/Jericho again? What interest is there in that anywhere? Jericho just won basically clean without any interference or "Hook would have won!" moments. Jericho just flatly won, what's the point of going on after this

What interest is there in that anywhere? Jericho just won basically clean without any interference or "Hook would have won!" moments. Jericho just flatly won, what's the point of going on after this They were getting more and more fired up the more HOOK kicked out, and he got a big pop for flipping Jericho off. The ending wasn't meant to garner a big reaction since the story beat is somber, so I think it did its job Also if we're talking about what helped or hurt Starks? I'd argue Punk's bullshit hurt worse then Jericho's. Ricky beat Jericho and then went off to the Bullet Club storyline, and then went on to the Punk shit where he basically lost, won dirty, and then would've lost again if not for Danielson swapping out and beating him there so I don't see how Punk helped in any way more then Jericho who Ricky actually BEAT. And "Jericho won clean" is bullshit, he bashed HOOK with a bat, he low blowed him to set up the Judas Effects, like you are literally ignoring beats in the match and everything that happened in it to try and justify the narrative that HOOK got buried when he very clearly didn't, Jericho needed to use his finisher twice and a ton of dirty moves to do it HOOK beat him clean, Jericho beat him way dirty. There's now actual momentum for a blowoff match, not that you'll see it or care, fair enough, you despise Chris Jericho and just want him to f*** off forever, but imo there's finally some steam to Jericho again, and if there's any way for him to build a new character, doing it with the FTW and letting HOOK go over that character would probably be the way to eventually go.

I love Chris and have been a huge fan for years, but he needs a good, long break.
If he doesn't want to take one then he really needs to mix it up and change his look to at least look a little fresher. I'd start by cutting off that mane.

Delusional veteran ‘teacher’ Jericho is probably the best thing he could do with the fans naturally turning on him recently. He’s due a decent ‘reinvention’ run after the past few years of staleness.

I just don’t wanna see the guy because it’s just a boring vortex of tv time that I’m not interested in seeing guys I like be sucked into under the guise of “I’ll put you over kid”. Like if I don’t care about Jericho then I won’t care if Hook or Ricky beats him.
